Why publish an n API to the Internet?
Much like a web page, when you make an API public to the Internet, you are indiscriminately authorizing and inviting anyone on the planet to use your web method. This does not necessarily mean you grantee how long your API will be available or how well it will work, just that you have chosen to make it public at the moment. Search engines use this sort of technology to encourage people to automate use of their searching services, AI Chatbot communities such as the P2B (Person to Bot) Consortium use public API for allowing people to create, train and deploy AI chatbots from anywhere to anywhere in the world, Comic book venders use public APIs to allow anonymous business partners to market their comic books. In short, public APIs make anonymous B2B (Business to Business) relationships more feasible. Not all .net web methods are used for public APIs, for example, some .net web methods require passwords or use WSSecurity to limit who can use them. Although non-public API’s often use .net web methods, they are outside the scope of this article.
How to publish an API to the Internet?
The internet has a central repository of web methods called “Planet API” and can be reached at http://www.PlanetAPI.com/ Planet API allows you to suggest an .net web service for review. The web service is posted for review and users anonymously test and comment your public API. Should TANU sentinel determine that your public API is not useful to the public, then it is removed. Otherwise it is made available for other organizations to utilize. It is important to properly document your .net web methods before submitting them to Planet API. Document each web method with only the information that is absolutely necessary for most users to understand what the web method is for. This can usually be done in 8 - 20 words per method. If you have more questions about Planet API then you can ask on the Planet API website or ask in the Chatbot! Cyber Community.
